Only one thing, it is said, Intervenes

Should the place not go. to King, the

although this would not be with

Judge King 1 said to have' been of
fered the position of solicitor for
the department of agriculture, and
be was also asked tf . he would
accept the collectorshlp of customs
at Portland. He declined the so
llcitorshlp because the salary was not
big enough to be tempting, 'and he
asked to be excused from taking the
collectorshlp because he did "not wish
to interfere where he had friends con

President Seeks Successor ;

Willis L. Moore Quits Because
of Failure to Be Placed
in New Cabinet..
(By the International Newt Service.) "
Washington; D: C, March 22. Willis
I. Moore, chief o the weather bureau
for more than 20 years, today sent In
his resignation . to President Wilson.
The resignation was unexpected at this
time, and no successor has been de
cided upon. The resignation, however,
was promptly accepted by the presi
dent ; y ... , ..
The reason behind this sudden lcav
taklng by on of the best known and
most efficient men in the employment
of the government was Moore's resent
ment at the attitude of the president
toward his candidacy for the secretary
ship of agriculture, a candidacy that
was promoted by his frjlends, and not
by himself. ; The resignation will be
come effective July 1.
It was stated definitely at the White
House this afternoon ' that Moore had
not been asked to resign. It was pretty
well understood, however, that a hunt
had been made for, a man to ftUjhia
place, and that the' president believes
tbat be can find another man of ade
quate scicntiflo standing for the job,
which is a big and Important one.
Professor Moore, was savagely at
tacked in the last house, by Represen
tative Aiken, and a threat was made
that the department would be InvestU
gated. Mr. Aiken based his attack on
the fact that forecasts of the weather
are often inaccurate.
Professor Moore had nothing to say
by way of criticism of the president.
When asked for 'a statement he mere
ly said:
"After 36 years connection with the
weather bureau and as chief of It dur
ing 18 years of that time, I shall now
retire to my farm. and grow fruit. I

the exclusive Hotel Wlllard In their

this afternoon, while government work

The testimony of the witnesses was
brutal in its frankness. At times the
intense silence in the mezzanine bal

Dr. W. C. Woodward, health officer

Officer SpenUWi. Jioie,
7 ' -r-
(T thn International Newt Service.)
Hingham, Mass., March 22. Two
startling developments marked the hunt
for evidence In the Eaton mystery today.
The first was the discovery that after
her marriage to Admiral Eaton, Mrs.
Jennie May Harrison Eaton maintained
friendly relations with Huntington Dan
iel Alnsworthj .her former . husband and
offered him financial assistance.
This It is reported caused Admiral
Eaton to become insanely Jealous of
Alnsworth, for whom' he conceived a
violent hatred.
The second discovery made today is
that the late admiral had given such
close study to the most deadly poisons,
that he had become a fanatic on the sub
ject and had spent vast sums and given
much of his time, to a world-wide col
lection of the most deadly drugs and
reptile venoms.
These poisons were found secreted Jn
every conceivable hiding place in the
Eaton home'in Assinlppi village anJ In
cluded snake venoms, used by the sav
ages of the South Sea Islands.
The prosecutor has men at work today
digging into the ash heap at the Eaton
home and plowing up the ground in aa
effort to find a bottle which the pros
ecution hopes to prove contained ar.
senlc.
James Prouty and other neighbors of
the Eatons said today that they had
heard the admiral say to Prouty:
"Jim, you are ( lucky because you are
not afraid that some one Is trying to
poison you."
Partial confirmation of the rumored
Intention of the prosecuting officials to
have a lunacy commission examine Mrs.
Eaton was seen today In the trip to
Boston of District, Attorney Barker, of
Brockton, ' prosecuting attorney in the
case, to visit Chief justice Aiken of
the state supreme court. Attaches of
the district attorney's office practically
admitted that the conference was for
that purpose.
Plans have already been' made by
Judge Kelley, counsel for Mrs. Eaton, to
fight any attempt of the government
to test Mrs. Eaton's sanity.
Statements of Barker that he thought
the accused woman mentally unsound
have aroused Kelley and even before it
became known today that the district
attorney might be working for a lunacy
commission, Kelley was laying plans to
block the action. Property rights are
Involved in the sanity of Mrs. Eaton,

Sylvia Pankhursf III From
Forced Feeding in Prison
English Militant Suffragette
Charges Jail Authorities
With Cruel Treatment
(United Pre Lal Wliw.i
-London, March 22. Miss Sylvia Pank
hurst, the youthful militant suffragette,
freed from Holloway Jail because of
ill .health induced by forcible feeding,
tonight was transferred to her mother's
flat in Knight's Bridge, to a private
hospital after phyBlclans pronounced
her condition most serious.
. The hospital authorities confirmed
the announcement that MUs Pank
Hurst's Illness was alarming and ordered
that none but her mother, Mrs. Emmel
ine Pankhurst, leader of the militants,
should bo permitted to see her. .
Mine Pankhurst had Berved five
weeks of a two months prison sen
tence for window mnnnhlng. when Home
Secretary Rpginald McKenna ordered
ber to-be liberated, on representation
that her health was in a precarious
state. The young woman had doclared
a hunger strike as she left the court-
Lroom at Old Bailey, following tho Ira-
position or sentence, and she kept her
word. She refused all food and drink
and, after the first day, the prison au
thorities resorted to forcible feeding.
Letter Tells of Cruelties.
A letter written by Miss Pankhurst
to her mother, the public reading of
which was popularly supposed to have
instigated the burning of Lady White's
$20,000 country mansion in Surrey, was
only one of the many alleged truthful
exposures of the painful prison custom.
Miss Pankhurst said that when Bhe
refused to eat, five prison wardresses
seized and held her powerless, while
two doctors fed her through a stomach
tube. With steel instruments, she said,
they pried open her jaws and- inserted
the tube into her throat, thus Injecting
a liquid, and ber mouth and gums were
constantly sore and bleeding from this
treatment, she declared. This process
was repeated twice dally.
That the cruel practice was really
injurious to Miss Pankhurst was evl
denced by the fact that the prison doc
tors admitted, to Home Secretary Mc
Kenna that to keep her there longer
would jeopardize her life. He there
upon ordered her release.
Miss Lillian Lenton, an American
suffragette of prominence and of a
wealthy family, also was released from
Holloway Jail several weeks sro by
order of the home secretary, because her
health broke down under forcible feed
ing. She was compelled to ask the aid
of friends and was confined to ber bed.
